Thread: Series II & IIA bases....

There are differences in construction, although I think these reflect who built them (i.e. Australian vs UK) and perhaps date rather than model, but all seat cushions are interchangeable from Series 2 to the end of Series 3 production, although there were differences in material and later S3 ones had rib stitching. (My 2a currently has S3 cushions including high backs as were optional on late S3.

Hi there John

I think you right - if I state the year of the vehicle is should be OK..

But there is a slight difference I have found, the early series II's have a fixed drivers seat while the IIa's have a slide arangment (metal adjustable frame)

All the best

I know that civvy 2a seats have flat topped cushions, do series 2? I have a brown elephant-hide-esque seat base and back that fits the 2a seatbox perfectly, but has a rounded side profile to the base.
You could perhaps ask if the seats you have ordered are flat topped or rounded, to prevent mix-up.
Cheers,
Mark

The sliding driver's seat, as with many such differences, is not a difference between 2 and 2a - it was optional equipment, probably even from 2, but only on 109s. As examples, it was not on my 1961 2a, was on my 1970 2a, but was not on my 1981 3!

These were available for Series 2 and were known as the Deluxe option. Don't know how common they would have been though.

Hi there Seats have arrived (approx 3 weeks from ordering)

Very impressed with the quality and the service........

Noice.

I'll have to see if they'll do green.

Hi there

Cost - less than $500 delivered, our local auto trimmer quoted over $600 using old frames and foam?

Well worth it in my opinion......they do green.
